We study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear wave equation with low-regularity data. A space-time $L^2$ estimate for the variable coefficient wave equation plays a central role for this purpose. Assuming radial symmetry, we establish the…

The initial value problem is well-defined on a class of spacetimes broader than the globally hyperbolic geometries for which existence and uniqueness theorems are traditionally proved. Simple examples are the time-nonorientable spacetimes…

This article concerns the Cauchy problem for the gravity-capillary water waves system in general dimensions. We establish local well-posedness for initial data in $H^s$, with $s > \frac{d}{2} + 2 - \mu$, with $\mu = \frac{3}{14}$ and $\mu =…

We start with the classic result that the Cauchy problem for ideal compressible gas dynamics is locally well posed in time in the sense of Hadamard; there is a unique solution that depends continuously on initial data in Sobolev space $H^s$…
